Technology an apocalypse or and Eden. Some one would say that technology would be mans down fall. Some would say that technology is to blame for the evils in this world. Man, powered by his imagination and curious character, has wondered the mechanisms of nature since time unfolded. This quest for the truth, the ways in which his surrounding works, has led to many a scientific discoveries and innovations. Since the art of making fire and creating handcrafted tools, our civilization has come a long way. Technology is making advances at an amazing rate. From telephones to the Internet, calculators to computers, cars to rockets and satellites, we are submerged in a sea of discoveries and inventions made possible by science and technology. Fields like medicine and communications have made it into our cultures and thus our lifestyles. Technology and culture have both influenced each other equally. Technology has been directed as an improvement in our lives, but on the other hand, culture has been present in every invention, noticeable or not, and advancement in our evolving society. Technology is becoming focused upon more and more everyday, but culture is the determining factor that decides if there is a necessity for an improvement. The evolution of society through technology leads to sin. So vast is the impact of technology in our lives, that people fear the unthinkable. It leads them to accusations such as technology tries to play God. However, according to Eucken, God is part of the order that exists in the universe. If so, then technology is just helping us discover the Almighty, which most people perceive as the ultimate truth. But at the same time leads us away from God himself.

...Apocalypse: An Analysis of Society’s Fears of the Evils of Prejudices and Alienation!
“It’s the end of the world as we know it!” The musical band REM stated it best in the lyrics of their hit song titled “It’s the End of The World”: “It’s the end of the world as we know it (It’s time I had some time alone) and I feel fine, fine”(REM). There have been many stories written throughout history highlighting the total destruction of societies and revelations of the future, otherwise known as an apocalypse. One such story of an apocalypse is Richard Matheson’s novel, I Am Legend. The novel is a cautionary tale of the evils of our society such as isolationism, alienation, as well as racism from the days past to the ever evolving future and the path the world is taking to not repeat them through the story’s unraveling of plot and character development.
Matheson utilizes a unique plot structure to help identify fictional effects of the apocalyptic themes of alienation and loneliness within the novel. The story unfolds within four different parts. The exposition of the story is revealed in Part I of the book where Neville’s most basic need and engagement for survival against the vampires begins. This exposition continues into Part II which details Neville’s investigation to gain a better understanding of the new vampires. Part III of the book details Neville’s interaction with a new “confidante” with whom to share this new...

... am inclined to favor the idea that technology does enrich our lives.
It provides us with a huge quantity of information and entertainment. For example, if you search something in the internet, you will see tons of information about it, and some of that you could not find otherwise. Even though our modern technology provides us with these sorts of amazing services, pessimists have a different perspective. Pessimists point out that technology is destroying our relationships and creating security threats, but can they state that technology affects our lives in a negative way just because it sometimes causes problems in our communities? No. All things and choices have some unpleasant consequences, and we just have to bear them.
Also, they should consider about how technology can be very useful in weather forecasting, medical treatment, warfare, and etc….
I believe that while technology can be useful and convenient it does not make our lives better, and is threatening to our society which ultimately impacts all of our lives.
I will sum up my argument in three points:
I. An addiction to technology
II. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
III. The harms of technology
To set a framework for this debate, if the con can prove that on a scale technology does equal to or as much damage as it does good in our lives then the con wins this debate.

...Information technology (IT) is the application of computers and telecommunications equipment to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data,[1] often in the context of a business or other enterprise.[2] The term is commonly used as a synonym for computers and computer networks, but it also encompasses other information distribution technologies such as television and telephones. Several industries are associated with information technology, including computer hardware, software, electronics, semiconductors, internet, telecom equipment, e-commerce and computer services.[3][a]
Humans have been storing, retrieving, manipulating and communicating information since the Sumerians in Mesopotamia developed writing in about 3000 BC,[5] but the term information technology in its modern sense first appeared in a 1958 article published in the Harvard Business Review; authors Harold J. Leavitt and Thomas L. Whisler commented that "the new technology does not yet have a single established name. We shall call it information technology (IT)." Their definition consists of three categories: techniques for processing, the application of statistical and mathematical methods to decision-making and the simulation of higher-order thinking through computer programs.[6]
Based on the storage and processing technologies employed, it is possible to distinguish four distinct phases of IT...

...﻿I opened my eyes to see the sun glistening in through my tent I looked across the tent to the door and peaked outside. The wind was calmly sweeping across the tips of trees and the daisies were swaying side to side like a boat on the ruff sea. It was quiet and felt different to normal. I felt alone. Like it was me and the earth.
I walked around looking about for people, gazing through windows, watching the condensation slowly melt into liquid. House after house, no one. I was on Brewers lane when I heard a slight whisper “over here” I scanned the area, the area where only yesterday me and my mates were chilling, I took another glance. Stood there is the mist was my best mate Jonah. He was shocked at seeing me, shocked that I’ve been walking about the streets fine and haven’t encountered any of them things. “Haven’t you seen any things”. My heart thudded. “What things”. I knew at that point we were in something big together, I couldn’t lose him, and we’ve been best mates since first school. As I said that I saw a dark staggered shadow move across the back of the churchyard. It moved with such jolt, I instantly panicked and froze on the spot. It was like something out of the movies, like something that shouldn’t be real. Like something that couldn’t be real.
Me and Jonah went to explore the churchyard to see what this was, as it was the only life we have seen today. We opened the gates the hinges squealed as we pushed to gate to. We stumbled down the pathway, legs like...

...Uses of technology
Internet has been the most useful technology of the modern times which helps us not only in our daily lives, but also our personal and professional lives developments. The internet helps us achieve this in several different ways.
For the students and educational purposes the internet is widely used to gather information so as to do the research or add to the knowledge of any sort of subject they have.

...With innovations in technology being released each day, it’s fair to compare the digital development rate to the rate at which humans are being born. Each day we are a step closer to some undefined goal regarding how advanced our commodities are; how many pixels a screen can be, or how fast a processor is. Life and our daily tasks have become simpler, quicker, and more convenient with devices that aid us in transportation, communication, and access to information such as cell phones, computers, and televisions. However, these conveniences are causing laziness, loneliness, addiction, and mental deterioration. Technology is at the tipping point towards detriment, as it is causing mankind more harm than good. The current use of technology has significantly eroded the level of privacy we enjoy. Take the use of social media on smart phones and computers for example—Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Youtube, Instagram: people use these networks to update arbitrary aspects about their life such as who they’re hanging out with or what meal they had. These details, usually private, become broadcasted to the world by the simple click of “share.” If you take a look at Source G, you can see a sample (2% total user base) of international Facebook connections. International data sharing is almost instantaneous, and often times leaks out information that you do not want others seeing. Source C figuratively depicts what happens when you share...
